Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protesters have managed to push back a heavy deployment of police and Rangers personnel, advancing towards D-Chowk in Islamabad. The protesters continued their march despite strong resistance from law enforcement, with clashes ongoing at the scene.
According to senior journalist Hamid Mir, a video shared on his ‘X’ account showed demonstrators attempting to topple containers placed near D-Chowk, while Rangers personnel were seen directing them to move away from the barriers. Before sharing the video, Hamid Mir posted an image showing containers placed along the road in an attempt to block the protesters’ path, with Pakistan Army personnel positioned on top of the containers.
